Dystonia is one of the most common pediatric movement disorders and can have a profound impact on the lives of children and their caregivers. Response to pharmacologic treatment is often unsatisfactory. Deep brain stimulation (DBS) has emerged as a promising treatment option for children with medically refractory dystonia. In this review we highlight the relevant literature related to DBS for pediatric dystonia, with emphasis on the background, indications, prognostic factors, challenges, and future directions of pediatric DBS.
